This day-long Community Expo will feature information booths from a range of religious, spiritual and philosophical groups in Surrey as well as a number of experiential sessions and activities open to the public. The aim of this event is to engage a broad cross-section of the community in learning about the plurality of worldviews in Surrey in a safe and non-judgmental setting.
Experiential sessions will take place in Room 120 throughout the day. These sessions will include: a blessing from a local First Nations elder, a music yoga session with the Sahaja Yoga group, a performance by the Punjabi Masihi Church choir, chanting with the Soka Gakkei Buddhist group, a performance by a Muslim Children’s Nasheed group and a Satsang with the Art of Living Foundation.

People from all religious, spiritual and philosophical backgrounds are invited to take part in this event by signing up to meditate for 15 minutes. Organizers hope that this event will demonstrate the range of traditions in our community that incorporate some form of meditation into their spiritual practice.
